Palletized Drum Fillers Stand Alone Units

Stand Alone Drum Filler (Photo 1012) Here is a basic, single lance, palletized, four drum filler, model DF-5540. The base legs are the only non-standard item. They straddle the floor mounted platform scale.

Low Profile Filler (Photo 1052) This custom-made filler has Kynar lance and valves for corrosive chemicals. The inner mast rises and lowers within the twin outer masts by hydraulic cylinder that carries the boom and lance carriage up to fill 330 gallon IBC's and down to fill 15 gallon drums. The filler scale base is floor mounted.

All Stainless Steel Filler – (Photo 1051) This is a low profile, all-stainless steel drum filler for filling food flavorings into four, 55 gallon drums mounted on a pallet. A ramp, (not shown) is used with a pallet jack to pick-up and drop off the loads at the floor mounted platform scale.

Description of Operation – (for all palletized drum and IBC fillers) The operator pushes a button on the handle to release the pivoting boom to guide the lance over any container He then presses the start button on his handle. The zero tare and lance insertion are both automatic If sub-surface filling, the lance travels to the bottom of the drum and starts a slow fill cycle When the liquid reaches the lance tip, both ball valves open wide and the system shifts to fast fill mode A magnetic encoder signals the location of the lance at all times, for product level tracking. Near the top, the cycle shifts again to dribble speed, to top off the drum and prevent foaming When a container is filled to the desired weight, the cycle stops and the lance retracts automatically.

Twin-Lance Filler (Photo 1024) This twin lance, sub-surface drum and tote filler has a stainless lance for filling non-corrosive chemicals and a Kynar lance for filling acids. The operator windshield is one of many options. A hydraulic cylinder raises and lowers the horizontal boom to fill containers as low as 20” to as high as 80” tall.

Palletized Drum Fillers Complete Systems

Standard, In-Line Drum & IBC System – (Photo 1067) This standard, model DF-5540 filler, as seen, is the most popular drum and tote filling system in the world. The sub-surface filler uses a rod-less air cylinder to raise and lower the lance for varying height containers. The conveyors are powered and indexing. The machine requires only 2 CFM of air at 80 PSI to operate and typically fills a 55 gallon drum in less than a minute. The conveyors, platform, controls, and bunging station are also standard.

Pallet Dispenser with Filler (Photo1039) The dispenser sends a pallet onto a two-strand chain conveyor to be manually loaded with drums. The fork truck floor stops prevent damage when a tote is loaded. Since the pallets run the wrong-way, two-strand chain conveyors are used on the infeed and three-strand chains on the discharge. Diamond tread plates are mounted between the chains for walking across the conveyor. The filling lance is Kynar and the platform is fiberglass for acid wash down. This system will fill a variety of chemicals into 20” to 80” tall containers.

In & Out Filling Station – (Photo1015) –The powered conveyor on the filler scale and the staging conveyor before the filler are both reversing. A load dropped off at the end will convey into the filling station then reverse back out, making the drop off point the pickup point as well. This is a model DF-5541 palletized drum filler with a stainless steel, top-fill assembly.

Extra Tall, Kynar Lance (Photo1023) This palletized drum filler has an extra-long Kynar lance for filling to the bottom of 550 gallon totes. The infeed and discharge conveyors were added at a later date. A hydraulics package raises and lowers the filling boom for 20” to 80” tall containers.


6

U-Line Filling System (Photo 1041) This special U-Line chemical filling system fills from 15 to 550 gallon containers. The long Kynar lance allows for faster filling from the bottom of the 72” tall IBC. Infeed and discharge chain conveyors are used for wrong-way pallets. Diamond tread plates between chains are for walkover. Bung and capping tools hang over the bung station after the transfer.

Drum & IBC Fillers

U-Line Drum & IBC Filler (Photo 1018) – This is another, U-Line filling system. The infeed is gravity conveyor with air-operated pallet escapements and walkover plates. The up/down transfer has a chain conveyor under a roller conveyor for incoming pallets. Powered conveyors carry the loads to and from the filling station. The long discharge conveyor is gravity with escapements to allow pallet accumulation and separation during pick-up.

550 Gallon IBC Filler – (Photo 1032) – The standard, DF-5540 palletized drum filler is built for loads up to 5,000lbs, but can be modified to include a 10,000lb scale base, a longer lance, heavy duty conveyor bearings and closer roller centers to handle tall, unstable totes up to 8,000lbs gross weight. The movable step-up is used for the operator to work on 80” tall containers.

Dual Lance System – (Photo 1065) This custom-made drum and tote filling system has twin Kynar lances to fill corrosive chemicals into drums and totes. The system uses a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the boom to accommodate from 55 gallon to 550 gallon containers. A pivoting de-bung station is mounted before the fill station and a pivoting bung/capping station is mounted after the filler.


7

Bag-in-a Box Filler – (Photo 1071) – This sub-surface filler was modified to fill a 220 gallon plastic bag with a 2" throat within a corrugated container. The end of the lance sprays the liquid out like a shower rather than a faucet, to allow the bag to inflate (unwrinkled) properly.

IBC/Tote Fillers

Automatic IBC Filler – (Photo 1036) –The tote conveys to an air operated blade stop. A photo eye signals the conveyor on the scale to stop and the tote filler to tare the load and start, automatically. When completed, the lance retracts and signals the conveyor to discharge the load.

All-Stainless IBC Filler – (Photo 1047) –This tote filler was required to have all stainless steel components above the fill line to avoid possible contamination of the liquid. This food grade application has quick-disconnect couplings to fill drums as well as totes. The conveyors and operator platform are epoxy coated.

Filling Tall Totes – (Photo 1031) – This drum and IBC filling system uses an extra-long Kynar lance to allow the lance to descend within a half inch of the bottom of every container, to speed up the filling cycle and control liquid foaming. The horizontal boom and lance carriage raises and lowers within the two stanchions to accommodate 55 to 550 gallon containers


8

All Stainless Drum Filler - (Photo 1130) This is an all-stainless steel, sub-surface, model DF-5510, semi -automatic, food grade drum filler with a sanitary lance and two infeed valves. The stainless conveyors have wash-down duty motors and the rollers have splash guards to prevent contamination.

Sanitary Filler – (Photo 1128) -This stand alone, top-fill machine has Tri-Clover tubing and couplings to meet sanitary conditions, including quick disconnects, two inlet ball valves and food grade seals. The frame is coated with white epoxy for wash-down.

Four Head Filler - (Photo 1114) – This special application is a four-head, semi-automatic, top-fill system with two fillers side by side. One drum filler has two Kynar lances and valves for corrosive chemicals. The other filler uses Kynar as well as a 316 stainless lance for filling 55 gallon drums with pharmaceuticals.

Simple Drum Filler – (Photo 1127) -This stripped-down, semi-automatic, top-fill machine is a basic unit without the bells and whistles. It is used primarily for filling small batches of non-hazardous chemicals into 55 gallon drums.

Single Drum Fillers

Filler for Various Containers - (Photo 1102) - This is the standard, Model DF-5510, semi-automatic, sub-surface drum and pail filler. The operator simply aligns the bung opening to the lance then presses the start button. The tare and fill cycle are then automatic. If the conveyors are sized properly, this filler can fill 5 to 55 gallon containers with foaming liquids.

Stand-Alone Drum Filler - (Photo 1113) This is a stand-alone, model DF-5511, top fill machine for 55 gallon containers. The operator aligns the bung opening to the lance then presses the button. The tare and fill are automatic. This filler has a type X purge for class 1, division 1 rating.

Drum & Pail Fillers

Dual-Lance Filler (Photo 1117) This is a semi-automatic, top-fill, drum filling machine with dual-lances. One lance is Kynar to handle corrosive chemicals and the other is a 316L stainless lance. This drum filler will typically fill a 55 gallon drum in 48 seconds.

Blending Drum Filler – (Photo 1112) This semi-automatic, top-fill machine with twin input filling lines flowing through a single lance is for a blending operation. The operator can select either line to input liquid by weight, or by volume.

Standard Drum Filler – (Photo 1104) This is the standard, model DF-5510, a semi-automatic, sub-surface, drum and pail filler that uses a rod-less air cylinder to raise and lower the lance. The filler requires only 2 CFM of air to operate. A typical fill cycle for a 55 gallon drum is one minute.

Automatic Drum Fillers

Automatic Drum Filler – (Photo 1202) – This is a modified, model ADO-5510 filer. It is a dual-lance, automatic drum filler with sub-surface lances used for filling one drum, or two, five gallon pails, simultaneously. In fact, this filling system actually fills 5, 15, 30 & 55 gallon containers. Each drum is moved into the rotator to locate the bung opening. The chain conveyor moves the drum, (see photo 1216 below) through the stations. The drum is raised and signals the computer to start the fill cycle. When filled, the drum is automatically discharged and the next empty drum at the rotator station advances to the filler.

Automatic Drum Orienting Filler (Photo 1218) – This model ADO-5510 drum filler is designed to fill only 55 gallon drums with the bungs previously removed. The system starts with a drum escapement then a drum indexer that positions one drum at a time at the rotator. At the rotator station, the drum is raised by four skewed rollers. A tire on one side and a cradle of wheels on the other captures and centers the drum before rotating it. (See photo 1216 below). A twin-strand chain conveyor moves the drums from station to station. A raise/lower scale platform lifts the drum off the conveyor then signals the fill cycle to begin. The full drum will convey to the bung and capping station then through a wig-wag diverter that sends drums to accumulate, left then right, automatically.

Automatic Drum Rotator – (Photo 1216) – Every ADO-5510 model drum filler uses an automatic empty drum rotator before the filling station to orient the bung opening at the six o’clock position. Each drum is indexed into the rotator to locate the bung opening. The chain conveyor moves the drum through the stations. The drum is raised by a cradle of skewed rollers then captured between a tire and pivoting wheels moved in and out by an air cylinder under the machine. A signal is then sent to start the rotation. When the bung is located, a tapered plug is lowered into the bung opening to lock the drum in the exact position needed before filling. The drum is then lowered and conveyed directly under the filling station lance.


11

Quad Fillers

Automatic Drum Filler - (Photo 1304) – Ideally suited for filling viscous products into open-mouth drums this special quad filler will automatically fill four drums, sequentially. It uses electric, heat-jacketed lances, because the viscous liquid must remain hot to flow. A photo eye on the scale conveyor recognizes the arrival of the pallet at the filling station and starts the filling cycle. Each of the four drums is filled sequentially then the pallet is automatically discharged.

Quad Filler – (Photo 1302) – This is a model DF-5541-4L, semi-automatic, quad head drum filler to fill four drums sequentially. It is ideally suited for slow-filling of highly viscous liquids. Once the button is pushed, this filler allows the operator to perform other functions, like bung and capping, while four drums fill automatically.

Filling Drums & IBC’s – (Photo 1307) – This quad filler has all the bells and whistles. It fills four drums sequentially, as well as one 220 gallon IBC with a quick change-over. Accessories include grounding clamps, a change-over lance for IBC, a Type X nitrogen purge and a pneumatic blow-out feature through the end of each lance.

Four Drum Alignment Station – (Photo 1310) Before filling, the drums are first aligned on the pallet. An air-operated blade stop rises between rollers to square-up the oncoming pallet then air-operated side pushers capture the pallet. The operator then arranges the bung openings of the four empty drums. A platen with four plugs is lowered to lock the drums in place. The load then advances to the automatic quad filling station.


12

Fume Booth Fillers

See-Through Fume Booth (Photos 1520 &1521) - Both photos are of the same machine. This is an automatic drum and IBC filling system within a see-through fume booth. The pallet load is placed on the infeed conveyor which automatically starts after the truck moves away. The guillotine door opens to convey the load in and out. The operator finds the bung opening and starts the fill cycle. Two sets of glove boxes are provided for the difference in height between the drums and IBC. The see-through walls all around are made of Lexan.

Automatic Twin Pail Filler (Photo 1203) – This automatic, liquid filling machine is designed for filling two five gallon jugs, simultaneously. Two jugs are shuttled directly to the dual filling stations. The infeed pneumatic indexer drops a pair of blades between two containers then shuttles them to the filling stations. At the dual filling stations, two scales raise the jugs and signal the computer to tare and start filling. Both lances automatically insert into the containers to start the filling cycle. The fill rate, with this foaming liquid, is 8 pails per minute.

Automatic, Four Head Pail Filler - (Photo 1414) There are four empty pails ready to convey into the filling stations, behind the fill heads, held by pneumatic drop-down pins. After a fill cycle, the row of full pails drives out the front. Four chain conveyors transfer the row of pails under the filling heads as full pails are discharged at the same time. Pails are raised off the conveyor, tarred to zero weight then filled to the programmed weight. Full pails convey to an automatic lid station then a palletizer. The five gallon pail filling rate, (using water) is 16 pails per minute.
